Perfect for Long Runs
I just received this last week. I am planning to use it for the Subaru Distance Classic and took it out for a test run this morning (13.11 mile run).
Here is my experience:
Fit: I ordered a medium. I am 6' tall and have a 31-32 inch waist and it fit perfect. I am glad I didn't order a large. The medium is for waists 28-32. I hardly knew it was there. But a larger one would probably have been loose and bounce.
Use: I ran with an iPhone6 in a life proof case, a small bag of chews and a gel packet. All fit fine and I hardly knew they were there.
Feel: it was secure as I ran. The phone was snug in the belt, and did not bounce. I was able to slip the phone in and out while running, but once in there it was secure. Again, the belt didn't bounce around and this is important for a long run.
Effects: after running I had no red marks, no chaffing and zero issues. I wore it over my waist band, and under my shirt. You could not see it was there and I honestly forgot I was wearing it at times.
I love the product. I'm glad I ordered it and it will be perfect for my long runs.
My only issue (and it's a very small one) is the color. I ordered red and it looks more pink. I don't care, but that is the only thing that had any variance from what I thought I was getting. It's not like it's hot pink, it was just slightly different than I expected.
Overall, I recommend this belt. If you are a runner and looking to carry things while you run this is perfect. I could easily have put keys, money and IDs or credit cards in there along with my phone and chews, and it would have been great.
